18.01.2022 We are happy to announce the first of our rep coaching appointments for 2021. Congratulations to Matt Bekker who will be taking on the role of U15 coach. Matt takes on the role with a long list of credentials backing him up. Earlier this year he successfully completed his training to become an Intermediate level coach. Matt has coached a junior A team in the Gympie comp for the last few years as well as a schools team in the Caloundra comp. He has also attended the USC Academy sessions for coaches and the Netball QLD Get in the Game sessions for coaches, just to name a few. Please join us in wishing Matt all the best - we look forward to seeing what he has in store for the girls in 2021.

17.01.2022 As we say goodbye to 2020, we remember a year like no other. We made plans only to have them whisked away from us and shelved until further notice. We isolated, socially distanced and waited just like everyone else. But nothing can keep a good netballer down. We went back to the drawing board, regrouped and put out a season that at least got our netball family back together and on court. We are grateful to each and every one of you who made this year possible because the thought of not playing netball at all was incomprehensible. Fingers crossed, and all things going to plan, 2021 will be amazing. Whatever you are doing to say goodbye to 2020, make sure you stay safe and have a great time. We can't wait to catch up with you all again soon. Happy New Year

15.01.2022 Shooting Practice and Preparation This piece you're about to read, was written by one of my players a few years ago. The improvement over the years from her wa...s truly amazing. This is her story. Shooting Practice Written by Laura Stokes Every player in a team holds certain responsibilities within the team and as individuals. As a goal shooter in a team, you have the added responsibility of putting the ball through the ring and scoring goals for your team. This means that not only do you have to complete the same fitness, strength and court sessions that the rest of the team attend, but you must also complete shooting sessions. Each coach and player have their own expectations of how accurate their shooters should be, however I have always focused on achieving 80% accuracy as a minimum. To achieve this, a goaler must do their own shooting practice in their own time, as well as practice whilst at training. Every court session that our team does, the goalers are always there 30mins before the rest of the team. If training starts at 6.30pm, then the shooters are there at 6.00pm. During this time we complete various shooting cards, which include technique training as well as shooting practice while fatigued. It usually takes 30mins to complete one shooting card and these often involve a lot of skipping and court sprints to ensure you are shooting whilst your muscles are fatigued, therefore simulating a real match. As an individual, I like to shoot for approx 30mins most days of the week. I generally complete a technique circuit, focusing on the ball going through the hoop without touching the ring. This ensures that the shot is a ‘perfect’ shot. Practicing the perfect shot increases the chances of performing a perfect shot whilst in a game situation. Practice is always going to be easier than match situations, as you do not have a defender or the pressure of a tight match, so you need to ensure you are performing that perfect shot during practice to ensure you have the best chance of getting the ball through the ring while under pressure in a game. Whilst practicing, each shooter should have a few key words that they say to themselves as they take the shot. This can be anything that triggers the shooter to perform that perfect shot. I like to use the words bend and flick to remind me to bend my knees and follow through on the shot. On game day, I like to arrive at the stadium 90 minutes before the game. This allows me to spend about 20-30mins shooting on my own before the rest of the team arrives. This time helps me to focus on what I need to do individually, and helps me feel settled in my shot. Each shooter should try and have a pre-game routine to help them feel confident in there shot. It may be that you put up some shots earlier in the morning on game day, or you arrive early at the game and shoot on your own for 20mins. Finding your own routine helps you to feel confident going into the game that you have done everything you can to be the best shooter you can be for your team. As with any skill, the more practice you do, the easier it will be when in a pressure situation. Shooting is a skill that needs to be practiced and repeated regularly, so that in a game it is almost an automated shot. Consistency in your shooting routine is the key to accuracy on court.
